[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so indicative of how there was a time in this country where we tried and executed witches.

The mob mentality runs high here. And we consider ourselves enlightened liberals.[/quote]

Ask yourself why this hits home for you. [/quote]

I doesn't hit home. Even I can recognize that this guy has not been charged or tried for anything yet. The people on this board behind their social media muscles would try and burn him (Yes I realize no witches were burned) and they would do it under the cover of 'woke' good tidings. I just think that if we cannot step back and enjoy the irony here, we are deluding ourselves.

I am allowed to think that he might not be a great person and that this crime might not rise to the level of imprisonment.

Anyway, enjoy watching the witch trial.[/quote]

I agree that the mob mentality is scary.

How many of us were ready to get torches and chase the first guy who was mistakenly accused out of town?

I can't imagine what his life was like for those days until the real person was found. The video elicited such a visceral reaction because the victims were so small and powerless. It makes what he did worse and our reactions stronger. We all need to remember to cool down and back off. I do worry that someone innocent is going to be injured. I'm not going to laugh at this like pp, but we should all take a minute to think about what happened here.[/quote]
